Description of the problem | 1998-1999 dodge durango owners are you mad !! I am ! Why were we left out of the daimler-chrystler ball joint recall ? According to my mechanic it is the same part as used in the 2000-2005. Mine are rusted through and were almost broken. *ak when i took my suv to the shop. Now it is going to cost me $1000 to fix it. Don't we deserve the same rights of consumer protection as the 2000-2005 owners. I called the terry wiseman's deealship of robinson,illinois. At first the service dept. Put me on hold for 15 mins. I hung up and called again and gave the receptionist my phone number, info, and ask for them to call me with an estimate. I recieved no call. I called again the next day the receptionist put me through to barry in the service department. He took my info. About 9:00 am called back at 11:00 am to ask if it was a 4x4 that was three days ago still no estimate or phone call. So i got an estimate from my mechanic.
